“jbrink22” Wins 2021 PASCOOP with Event #20-H: $200 NLHE Sunday Special
On Sunday, the 2021 Pennsylvania Spring Championship of Online Poker (PASCOOP) continued with Event #20-H: $200 NLHE (Sunday Special SE) $100K GTD.
Registration closed with 361 unique players rebuying 237 times for a total field of 598 entries. That surpassed the $100K guarantee by generating a $111,228 prize pool that was paid out to the top 89 finishers.
After nearly nine hours of play, "jbrink22" walked away as the last player standing to capture a $17,737.55 top prize. It marked the second title of the series for "jbrink22", who back on Friday, April 23 topped a 195-entry field to win 14-H: $50+R NLHE [Rebuy], $20K GTD for $3,970.31.
Heads-up play began with “jbrink22” holding a near 2:1 chip lead against “thpinal”, but the latter managed to battle back to even stacks before the tournament was paused to discuss a deal that was ultimately agreed upon, one that left $2,000 and the title on the line.
The two jostled back and forth for a while before “jbrink22” flopped trip fours and got value each street against “thpinal”, who had pocket eights. The last of the chips went in on the river and “thpinal” had to settle for second place.
